      Er, what does that have to do with anything? Your number of new topics is rather high, but not to a serious degree of being a problem, but if you're creating new topics just because your computer is slow, then we have a problem.

      <Yawn>, if you really want to know, it's when I accepted the alien missions and then bought a shuttlecraft ( after copying my pilot file)

      My longest battle was against the Voinian Dreadnought. I was taking the crew of one challenge. I was in a Krait.

      Did you win?

      pooper: My longest battle is when I got stuck in the crossfire of a rebel/'fed cruiser and decided to shoot back. I was in a rapier at the time and had to first wait for the rebel cruiser to die, so the 'fed cruiser was about 1% sheilds, and then I had to blast away with proton cannons, (I was out of secondarys) until it finally destroyed it.

      Pooper, I really am getting tiresome of these topics. Half of them have been locked or moved because it is irrelevant and the rest is about whatย’s your **** ****?

      Sorry but I don't need help with the game. I'll try to put up less topics but I havn't had any new topics that were locked. Have you read the locked ones? None of the newer ones were locked because of spam.

      Taking on the Confederate Naval Base in EVGE in an unescorted lightning. Dodging missiles for two and a half hours is not my idea of fun.

      get a fast ship with lots of weapons. Stay behind the alien cruiser and ignor the fighters. I found a Kestrel to work very well.

      Or quite simply, get a Tractor Beam. Then max out on the best main weapons there are. ๐Ÿ™‚

      So what? That damn naval base stocks hundreds of times more missiles and torpedoes than are necessary to turn your Condor into space junk.

      The only way to defeat it I ever found was to get long-range primaries like plasma cannons, then fly in circles for about half an hour until it FINALLY runs out of torps and missiles, then sit just outside it's turret range but inside your cannon range, hit autopilot and hold down primary fire. EVENTUALLY it dies.

      God I hate that battle.

      I've never had a problem with it. Never takes me more than 15 mins. I move in close enough so it thinks im too close for torps or missiles but far enough away to make primaries too short range. 20 TW beam cannons help too.
